The current situation is way past the cold war.

It wouldn't have been, if the deterrent hadn't worked.

Wouldnt be where we are today if the EU had reacted to previous Russian acts stronger instead of slapping wrists.

Apparently the french have already surrendered

They thought that their 1940 unconditional surrender still stood.

What exactly could the EU have done to prevent Russia from invading another country 🤔?

I was refering to the hit squads poisoning people abroad where perhaps more could of been done.

I have friends and work with people who originate from and have family in The Ukraine , my thoughts are with them and their families during this unwarranted  attack on their homeland .

Can we please respect those who are suffering at this time and resist any temptation to make light of the situation .

Can we also please resist the temptation  to finger wag. This a forum reactions are  bound to be diverse.

And this is a lovely topic around what everyone did with their day. Can we keep it that way please. 

Here’s some photos from my walk earlier. 
 

[Lulu]

It’s been a stunning day. Now at Potter where it’s got pretty breezy as usual!  

[SwanR]

Hope you’re having a lovely time out. I did wonder whether you might be on the boat this weekend. 

[Ray]

I had the pleasure of meeting Lulu & Selsie at Potter today plus the very handsome Desmond and beautiful Luna. 

Next time hopefully it'll be warmer and my boat will be somewhat more fragrant lol

[kpnut]

Very envious Lulu. Enjoy this sunshine, spring’s on the way, slowly but surely.

I couldn’t smell a thing lol. Great to finally meet you too at last!  
 

Hoping we have struck lucky this trip with the weather. We are onboard until probably next Saturday:) 

[Ray]

I didn't realise you had a week, that's great! I think the blue skies are going to be around a while too 👍

[CambridgeCabby]

We will be out from Friday for a week , don’t use all the good weather up please 

[YnysMon]

Oh no! Just the idea of ‘using up good weather’ is just depressing. 
Anyway, I was doing a bit of a review of our last few trips on Moonlight Shadow, and it’s clear from the photos that we had a lot more sun in November than we had in the summer.

my day today has been a bit of a mixture, first was going shopping for the weeks groceries, then at lunch time a trip to my parents to take my dad and sister shopping, here I felt small as my 6'5" nephew was around too, then we were assisting putting up a fence panel at my parents and were both made to feel small by the 6'7" neighbour who is distantly related from around the corner, me being the short one at a mere 6'4" well that has to be somewhat of an event.

after shopping for my parents I meandered my way home via some of the back roads of kent, past several haunts from years past (one was so back of beyond that it surprised me that I could remember the way there).

This did make me giggle, being surrounded by taller people.

Feeling effluent, Ray? 😉😁

 

[Oldspice]

Spent the day armed with a mop/broom and many buckets of water giving the boat its wake up wash... been a fantastic day weather wise.

Possibly the only benefit of losing your sense of smell following Covid, Sam!! 😉. As you know, I suffer from similar, albeit less extreme symptoms too!

Lovely photos Jean and Sam Thank you. Such a joy to see when in the position of not being able to go to that  part of the world in the usual way. Although we did go and spend a day on Hi-JInks yesterday and got a few jobs done. It's looking as if our new canopy may be done in about a month. We've put a few bits on board, still loads more to go but it's awkward with the boat still on hard  standing so we take a few things each time we go. Once she is back in the water we can take it down in bulk.

A very long, very hot shower, a cold beer and a roast chicken dinner.... Now feeling almost human again. The job isn't finished but the hardest, most aromatic work is done so I'm happy with that 👍

today I decided on a trip out and a walk, so it was back to where i briefly drove through yesterday to see if i could find the little valley in the woods where many years ago we used to meet up and train for our viking re-enactment, pleased to say that I found it, though there are some quite big trees now in what was a grassy clearing, still it was nice to wander round and reminisce.
